Srsly, if you're looking to reduce costs, what's better than eliminating most of the drivetrain? - At most you would have two motors, can probably get away with just one (most rear wheels drive ice cars really only applied power to one wheel) - The myth of "unsprung wheel weight" has been...

What about the model Y? :devilish:

Not likely. San Luis Obispo understands Tesla well, already 3 supercharger locations in town. I'm sure all the legal was properly taken care of. Glad this is finally going in, have to go all the way to Bakersfield on Wednesday to get our rear glass replaced, getting tired of the 2 hour trips...

The carrot should be obvious here. Tesla charging standard: - smaller and therefore cheaper to build - more reliable (SC vs electrify America as an example) - already ubiquitous! Seems like a no brainer to me. If only I were king.....

Agreed, but we need to dump that idiotic CCS plug.... NACS FTW!

"buy the rumor, sell the news"

Ironically, the first song my wife and I danced to!

They need to buy ICON and figure out how to 3D print them….?

I for one welcome our new robotaxi rental model overlords (especially in conjunction with my eBike used more in good weather). but until then….

Was thinking (I know that's dangerous). If the higher interest rates are going to affect demand, doesn't Tesla have plenty of cash on hand to just finance loans at a lower rate? Rather than pairing with a bank (which is what they do now I think?). Are they regulated into having to stick to the...

Literally got to use this last night at our 40th High School re-union. Good friend too (yup, we took the red model 3). When I pointed out "You can't get gas if the power is out either"..... Her jaw... literally... dropped and hung open and froze there. Good 30 second pause. It was a classic...

See, the world really IS flat!

It's so iconic, I had to google Moss Landing to know where it was, even though I'm just 3 hours south. And I have even driven past it at least once! :cool:

Fortunately for the Rivian, there is a J1772 charger (and a Tesla dest charger) right there at the winery. I did ask them how the trip went (Seattle) and they said it was surprisingly easy and not what they had expected.

At the (Castoro Cellars) whale rock music festival (benefit for my high school marching band). Miir has a booth engraving their mugs and bottles. Laser engraver is running off outlets on the Rivian

I got "black listed" by the local JWs after just one visit. "We have a book we'd like you to read!" Me: "I have several by PhD scholars that point out how inaccurate your book is, would you read them?" "No sir, I will not!" Me: "Have you read your book?" "Of course I have" Me: "Then you...

If I have time, I like to mess with them and tie them up as long as possible. I kept one scammer ("you have won the lottery") going to 20 minutes pretending to be a redneck pig farmer. .... "Can you send it in 20's? Our bank won't take anything bigger". On a more recent call from Hilton...

Hero (check) Electric car (check) Gets the beautiful girl (check) Best sci-fi movie.... EVER (imho) ( check) Now, with loud motors, he wouldn't have been able to hear her beckoning to him, and then he wouldn't have gotten laid,. Conclusion: Electric cars get you laid.

Thank god that movie didn't have many speaking lines either.

So much Lithium, so little time......
